In order to avoid memory leaks when dealing with lazy seqs, Clojure's compiler must emit instructions to clear references to locals so they can be GC'd. This is necessary in production but severely cripples debuggers since they only have access to locals that haven't been cleared. It would also probably be necessary for this kind of live tracing. There's a patch that fixes this problem waiting to be applied: http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-860 -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
